Coachella weekend stay
This was just what we needed! No problems with the room and service was excellent as I requested early check in and they message me when it was ready! Quick drive to the festival and a bar walking distance for late night

Perfect for what we needed and close enough to drive back and forth to and from our event. Room was clean, bathroom was a good size with a lovely shower. Will be looking to stay here again next time we are in town. The only negative thing I could say was that we never were able to turn on the TV but we really did not need it, so I did not even bother letting the staff know.

I like the bathroom for people with disability, It just that there is no bedside table like for cpap machine, and bed is too high for not so tall people and for people with disability.

Horrible experience while staying in Mauna Loa
This was perhaps the most horrible experience with a facility used from Hotels.Com page. It is an absolutely low-class facility with a poor class Manager (coordinator).
I suggest no one to take this motel in future. I paid USD 550 a night for a Motel of USD 70-80 standard due to a music festival. Paying nearly 7 to 8 times.
What happened, No housekeeping at all. Once in the 4 days \ I have to force them to do it. No cleaning of the toilets and worst was not clearing the bins with food waste.
The room was extremely noisy as it was with a window type aircon just beside the bed. I could not sleep all the 4 nights stayed there. Worst service you will ever get.
Hotel.com/owner should refund money to me for all the inconvenience caused.
Most important is the Manager. Most horrible person there.
